theory and doctrine, "Let the truth
defend ITSELF" He declared that, 'tThe
old ideas as to the wonderful properties
of alcohol are being dispelled by the
strong light of true modern science, in
these days of rigid investigation, just
as other ancient notions are going by
the board. The age in which we live
is peculiar for it's lack of reverence, its
strong tendency to challenge everything
that has come down to us from ancient
past. 1t worships nothing old because
it is old. 1t throws into its terrible
alembic religions, science, prejudices,
superstitions all systems and all the
cries are cast in together and subjected
to white heat and scathing tests; and
the result is that many old things are
tottering and crumbling, many idols
are being dethroned. And for my part
1 have no fears. I say, let the most
rigid investigation throw strong light
upon any and every subject. Let all
images be destroyed. Let all idols be
made to bite the DUST The result can
only be the true, the good, the useful to
society"

WILL STAND THE CLIMATE.

A Congregational clergyman with
whom ] am on good terms personally
only his orthodoxy being of somewhat
severe type, he fears that l may be lost
because OF my heresy-in letter written
to me some months since, says he hopes
I will be saved because Of the orthodox
principles instilled into me in my child
hood, which he hopes have not yet lost
all their power over me. But he has
great fears for my SOD, and believes that
my heresy, to use his exact words, will
curse generations yet unborn
So far as my son is concerned, il be-
lief in the old type of orthodoxy is
essential TO salvation, his chances are very
poor indeed; in fact think might as we'll
be marked zero at once. Lyman Beecher,
it has been said, was the father Of more
brains than any other man in America.
In my reply to my friends letter, l hap
pened to refer to the fact that the Beech
er family held very liberal views ON the
subject of eschstology. In his next let
ter he said that as far as Henry Ward
Beecher was concerned, he believed that
he had gone to place called Hades in
the Revised, though my friend prefers the
Old Version. II it be fact that this
great Drained and great hearted man,
perhaps the greatest preacher this centu-
ry has produced, has gone to Hades, and
many other noble men, who have cher
ished "the larger hope" have gone to
Hsdes, because they we're heretics, and
my noble boy is going there, because he
is hereto, think 1 will be willing to
go there too, and will stand the climate,
if it is somewhat sultry, for the sake OF
the good society that must be there.

REV. G. @. HADDOOK'S RELIGIOUS
OPINIONS.
TsECoND ARTICLE

We continue from our last issue, the
extracts from the recent biography of
Rev. GEORGE G. HADDoCK, prepared
by his son, New York: Funk & Wag-
nalls), in which is revealed the surpris-
ing fact, that this well-known Method
ist preacher, who was recently murdered
in Sioux City, Iowa, by the liquor an
archists, in the later years of his min
istry repudiated the doctrine of end
less punishment, and came to rest in
the hope of the final salvation Of all
mankind. 1t seems that he embodied
the result of his studies on this subject
in an unpublished manuscript Of nearly
300 pages, entitled "Hell not Eternal"
Extracts from this manuscript are
made by his son. We give them fol-
lowing, in quotation marks. The COM
ments, printed without the quotations,
are from his biographer. Our readers
will peruse these trenchant paragraphs
with singular interest. 1t is surpris-
ing revelation. Had Haddock lived, no
doubt, he would himself have published
his views to the world. He could not
have kept his new found faith very
much longer in secret. The earnest
ness and sincerity of the man puts this
beyond question. The single modifica-
tion which the biographer notes will
pass for what it is worth.

A MARROW ESCAPE.
How Diver Floyd Nearly Lost His

Mr.. Gardiner Floyd of this city, the well
known diver, had the nearest escape from
death In his experience at Mattawamkeak

new bridge for the Canadian Pacific railroad.
de had just put chain on large piece of
rock and given the signal to hoist it when
another large piece of rock broke off
from the main body knocking Mr.. FLOYD
down and falling on his leg and foot. He
was sixteen feet under water with this large
rock on top of him, and his air hose liable
to be cut off any minute. His crowbar was
only short distance away, but was out of
his reach and he would have given 500, if
he could have got hold of it. The ground
under the rock was dirt and gravel, and Mr..
Floyd began to dig with his hands and put
pieces of ledge under the boulder. AT
ter thirty minutes of hard work he succeed
ed in getting his leg out. His air hose was
resting on two points of ledge, but by care
full handling it he got it Strengthened out and
gave the signal to hoist. His foot ana leg
were badly bruised but no bones were brok-
en-. The next day he went down and fin
